This study investigates the flexural performance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams in which cement was partially replaced (0, 10%, and 20%) with sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), rice husk ash (RHA), and fly ash (FA). In the experiment, seven beams were tested under a four-point loading test to evaluate their flexural behavior. The experimental findings stated that the optimum structural performance occurred at 10% replacement with SCBA and RHA, which enhanced the flexural capacity, stiffness, and toughness of UHPFRC beams. The ultimate moment capacity of UHPFRC beams incorporating SCBA and RHA as cement replacements with 10% has increased by 7.3% and 12.2%, respectively, whereas a reduction of 9.80% was caused by incorporating 10% FA. Optimal results are achieved at 10% substitution with RHA or SCBA, which provides the best synergy between environmental benefits, and structural efficiency. Eventually, an analytical validation using design codes and various prediction equations confirmed good agreement with experimental results. This research combines full-scale flexural testing, comparative waste-based SCM assessment, and multi-criteria sustainability analysis for UHPFRC beams, thereby providing valuable experimental evidence and design-oriented insights for the development of low-carbon and structurally efficient UHPFRC applications.
Transport demand in Fayoum is increasing due to population growth, contemporary lifestyles, and urban sprawl. This poses a real challenge for decision-makers to achieve safe, reliable, and around-the-clock public transport services. Passenger satisfaction is the main indicator of transportation service quality. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the quality of public transport (microbuses) service in Fayoum using the SERVQUAL model, which assesses service quality across five dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, tangibles, and empathy. Data were collected for this study from over 450 public transport users by using two approaches that combined surveys and interviews. IBM SPSS software was used to analyze the collected data, identify gaps, and develop regression models. According to this study, there were significant differences between expectations and perceptions of service quality, leading to overall dissatisfaction, particularly in reliability and responsiveness. This study identified the main shortcomings of the service and proposed several enhancements.
This study assesses the performance of four monthly water balance models (MWBMs: GR2M, XM, abcd, DWBM) in arid and semi-arid catchments across Spain, Australia, and the United States, utilizing CAMELS datasets. Our large-scale assessment demonstrates that some parsimonious MWBMs yield good and robust results in these regions. A three-fold cross-validation, optimizing Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) or Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE12), revealed regional differences. The GR2M model exhibited higher performance and robustness in Australia and the US, DWBM and abcd topped in Spain, while XM consistently underperformed. Globally, KGE12 proved to be a superior optimization metric. Model performance was generally highest in Spain, followed by Australia and the USA. To predict model performance category, a logistic regression, based on mean annual runoff and precipitation as inputs, achieved from 75% to 89% success rate. The findings confirm MWBMs' capability in arid and semi-arid regions and provide empirical insights into their performance.
This study investigates the potential use of olive waste ash as an additive in hot mix asphalt (HMA) to develop sustainable pavement materials capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads and severe climatic conditions while minimizing environmental impact. The asphalt mixture was prepared using olive waste ash, limestone aggregates, and 60/70 penetration-grade asphalt cement to evaluate its effects on rutting resistance, durability, and cracking performance. To examine the impact of OWA on the physical characteristics of the asphalt-ash binder, different percentages of OWA (0, 5, 15, and 20) were added to the weight of the asphalt binder. The binder was tested for penetration, softening point, ductility, fire and flash point, and asphalt specific gravity. The Marshall specimens and indirect tensile strength were examined using five different asphalt-ash binders. These experiments were carried out with three load frequency levels (1.0, 4.0, and 8 Hz) and at temperatures of 25 and 60°C. According to the findings, ductility and penetration had an inverse relationship; however, the increase in OWA content had a direct relationship with specific gravity, softening point, fire, and flash point. For the same amount of asphalt-ash binder, unit weight and flow dropped as the percentage of ash grew, whereas voids in mineral aggregate and air voids increased as the percentage of OWA increased. Marshall Stability rose until it reached 10% of OWA, after which it fell. A 5% percentage of olive waste ash was discovered to have a high indirect tensile strength, while the maintained Marshall stability ratio rose as the amount of ash increased.
Urban public parks are vital for environmental sustainability, public health, and social cohesion, yet many, particularly in rapidly urbanizing contexts like Cairo, suffer from neglect and underuse. This study addresses this challenge by evaluating user needs and barriers to renewal at the International Park in Nasr City, Cairo—a historically significant space experiencing visible decline. Employing a mixed-methods case study approach, the research integrates structured on-site observations of physical conditions with a survey of 100 demographically diverse visitors. The principal results identify a significant gap between the park's potential and its current state, pinpointing poor maintenance, a profound sense of insecurity, and a lack of recreational facilities and organized programming as the primary deterrents to use. User priorities for revitalization emphatically include safe pathways, clean restrooms, reliable maintenance, and the introduction of modern amenities like Wi-Fi. Consequently, the study concludes that a user-oriented redevelopment framework is essential, proposing a phased action plan encompassing enhanced lighting and surveillance, improved accessibility, cultural activation, and environmental restoration. Its primary contribution lies in providing an empirical, design-based renewal strategy directly derived from user feedback, offering a valuable model for urban policymakers and planners in Egypt and similar contexts. A key limitation is the modest sample size, suggesting future research should expand comparative studies across other parks. The practical implications are immediate, outlining actionable short-, medium-, and long-term interventions for municipal authorities. Socially, this research underscores the transformative potential of participatory planning in reclaiming green spaces as inclusive, multi-generational hubs that foster community well-being and urban sustainability.
